This modern four bed detached residence not only offers deceptively spacious family accommodation, but can also boast arguably the most impressive views in the area from the rear. A bold statement perhaps, considering the beautiful scenery the area has to offer, yet one gaze from this home’s rear garden will surely be enough to confirm this opinion, with simply breath-taking, uninterrupted views over adjoining countryside, stretching as far as Billinge Hill and Ashurst Beacon.

The property rests within a small residential cul-de-sac, located just off Almond Brook Road, and whilst the exceptional views to the rear might give the impression of rural seclusion, the property is within a few minutes walk of the centre of Standish village, with its host of local shops and amenities, and a short drive from the bustling town of Wigan, when one is looking for something more vibrant still, with its abundance of high street stores, trendy bars and restaurants. Of particular note is the property’s excellent motorway links, with Junction 27 of the M6 motorway less than one mile away, ensuring major commercial centres such as Manchester, Liverpool and Preston, are all within a reasonable commute, whilst for the younger members of the family, excellent local schooling at both primary and secondary levels, are all within a short walk. 

The property enjoys a well proportioned layout extending to in excess of 1,280 square feet and is thoughtfully arranged over three floors to fulfil its maximum potential, with our client’s having thoughtfully and skilfully converted what was the original garage to add additional flexibility and living space to the existing accommodation. One enters via the entrance hallway with its handy cloakroom/WC  always useful when one has small children at home and proceeds through into the 17’ dining room, which provides an ideal space for those family meals or when one is entertaining. 

One continues through into an inner hallway with its spindled staircases providing access to the first floor and lower ground floor accommodation, and then proceeds into the main lounge, which stretches the full depth of the property, and is impressively proportioned at 22’ in length. This comfortable space is bathed in light via the dual aspect windows, including a fabulous Juliet balcony to the rear which takes full advantage of the stunning rear views, whilst the feature fireplace with its inset living flame gas fire aids in the creation of a cosy ambiance. One can also enjoy the views from the adjoining kitchen, which is very well appointed and fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units in Cherrywood with contrasting laminated work surfaces, and equipped with an integrated electric oven, four ring gas hob with extractor canopy. 

If one ventures down to the lower ground floor, a further reception room will be revealed, a wonderfully flexible space suitable for a variety of uses, such as a playroom for the younger members of the family, complete with direct access to the garden, a further sitting room or perhaps a study for those requiring some space to work from home, whilst one will also discover the master bedroom suite, which also boasts double doors onto the garden, a comprehensive range of fitted furniture, as well as a super three piece en-suite shower room. Of course, such is the flexibility of the accommodation, this entire floor could be utilised as separate annex-style living accommodation for a teenager or elderly relative, who requires their independence, yet still wishes to be within the family household. The space continues on the first floor, with three additional bedrooms, all of which benefit from built-in furniture, and the main family bathroom, which is fitted with a three piece suite in classic white, comprising of pedestal wash hand basin, WC and panelled bath with overhead shower. 

Externally, there are lawned gardens to the front and rear, with a double-width driveway to the front, providing off-road parking facilities for two vehicles, whilst to the rear, one can recline on the paved patio and enjoy the stunning adjoining countryside and spectacular views. Viewing of this lovely home is essential to appreciate the space on offer.
